From the Reformation, through the Renaissance and on to the seventeenth and eighteenth century, this was a time when religious scholarship was updated with the discoveries of the New World and colonial expansion. These chapters present new work, shedding light on the interplay of philosophy and theology in key thinkers such as Montaigne, Leibniz, Bayle and Spinoza, but also in less known authors such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Sebastian Castellio. Readers will discover analysis of the reshaping of specific theological issues, focussing on the reception of ancient philosophical traditions such as Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, and scepticism. The authors investigate the relationship between the ethical models inspired by the heroes and philosophers of antiquity and the ?new philosophy?. Above all, this book enables exploration of the ways in which discussions of the salvation and virtues of pagans intersected with the early modern reception of ancient philosophy, including a reassessment of the question of the moral status of unbelievers in the early modern period. Students and faculty working on early modern intellectual history will find that this book both inspires and enriches their knowledge. Those with an interest in Renaissance humanism, the history of early modern philosophy and science, in theology, or the history of religion will also appreciate the new contributions that it makes. 410 0$aInternational Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées,$x2215-0307 ;$v229 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 606 $aEarly Modern Philosophy 606 $aIntellectual History 606 $aHistory of Religion 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aEarly Modern Philosophy. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 676 $a234 676 $a202.2 702 $aFrigo$b Alberto$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910390859903321 996 $aInexcusabiles: Salvation and the Virtues of the Pagans in the Early Modern Period$91921374 997 $aUNINA
